A win is great, and I don’t want to be that guy but we will need to be a lot better against the Dockers and the Pies. Good in patches, but sloppy in others. 

Having said that, Maxy, a million points for his performance. TMac and Tommo good, May good late. Good to see Roo get a few on the board. Kozzie was dangerous and very good in the middle.

Bank the win, but gotta sharpen up from here.

    Good response Dees. We’re in 4th position after 11 rounds which is essentially half way. Could be much worse like being Brisbane.  
     

    Also have Saints improved anything under Lion? They look as average as ever at the moment

    They looked at his foot, but supposedly more precaution than an injury.

    Well it definitely hasn’t been from overuse this season

    Max Gawn forgot he was a 'only' a ruck again.

    Led the game for clearances and score involvements, at 88% disposal efficiency.

    Nod to Nibbler who continues to turn his workrate into real effect.

    Nod to Viney who held the sludge-wave under control during the grotty second quarter when our midfield was well under expectations.

    And a smile and a nod to Salem who has probably done himself a world of good by having such a busy and effective day.

    Most importantly, a much shorter 'tail' this week compared to a number of recent games.

    Kozzie's baby has ear protectors on.  Gets pretty noisy in there for a little bub.

    I thought Christian Salem continued his midfield form despite chopping disposal a little

    Are you one of these people who play Footy without keeping scores, so that people don’t get offended?

     

    The History of St Kilda has no parallel to the MFC

    You need to do some research sunshine ☀️

    How old is Max jnr?

    He looks pretty big already.

    George is three later this year.  After the season is over.

    Max should be put out to pasture with Lauren Jackson after he retires. 
     

    I’ll buy a share and love the F/s when he debuts and wins a premiership

    Makes sense. I thought he was younger. Tx.

    Good to see all the dads with the little ones.

    Tommo great inclusion. Max just huge as always. Petty and McAdam can go in the bin. 

    It's McAdams 2nd game, it's going to take time. You need to go in the bin.

    Not really thrilled.

    Poor last quarter.

    The 3 goals against cost us 3rd spot on the ladder by %.

    Sounds trivial?

    It isn't and wont be come final time.

    Very pleased to be wrong about this one I though the Saints would give us a real scare but apart from that burst in the 2nd we cruised through

    Let it go you fool. You can’t let go and get out of your black and white, single lane thinking. 

    Saints have not won a premiership since 1966. Prior to 2021, our club hadnt won since 1964. I’ll  let you ponder on that one. PM me for the answer

    How about having empathy for the under dogs, the ones who have struggled. The underdogs. That should be relatable to you. 

    Hilarious 🤣

    Anyway, my earlier reservations aside, I want to note that we came to win, and that is what we did. That’s important. My positives are that we looked happy out there, as if last week was an aberration. We had moments of brilliance and I hope the boys carry that forward as I still think our best can beat anyone.

    Go Dees ❤️💙

    People need to really lighten up a bit & enjoy a40 point win.

    We’re not head & shoulders above anyone in the competition, we’re in 4th position & will be fighting it out when the whips are cracking with about 12 other teams

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
